A financial consultant is forced by circumstances to move his family to Ozark in order to find quick and efficient new ways to launder money for his boss, the head of a drug cartel .
An effective series, in the spirit of Breaking Bad or Peaky Blinders or The Sopranos. With well-defined characters, apparently just ordinary people initially, removed abruptly from their daily routine, and forced by circumstances to (re)discover unique skills, Ozark offers an out-of-the-ordinary trip for the viewer, welcome without the risks that the protagonists face frequently, but full of suspense and shortness of breath nevertheless. The series is not a constant roller-coaster, and has some annoying dragging episodes from time to time, but each of these are well counteracted by intense stages of action filled events that almost cancel them out or result in a well received balance.
